Something that is taken for granted in Sydney is public transportation. I worked in South Africa for many years and the only way to get to your job was to drive and then park. Note in the latter part of my career parking close to the building and preferably inside the building became a key criteria as your odds of being mugged at night were pretty good.
I had one of my team members mugged right in front of a police station one evening. This alone is enough to drive one insane. (Sorry had to rant so I am slightly off topic).
I have a theory about public transportation and the modern era. I believe countries without public transportation run the risk of losing out on valuable research time. My hour long commute on a bus in the morning sees me browsing and reading in a week more than I did in the last 2 years that I was in South Africa. This has got my mind out of the fear and back into learning mode.
Remember people love your public transport it has the ability to make you smarter.
